Mondays Kept Me Fat - The Health and Weight Loss Show That Will Keep You Started

Here is the link to this week’s article: https://mondayskeptmefat.com/2021/06/procrastinating-happiness

When it comes to our own personal happiness, we procrastinate. When we are accountable to ourselves, we tend to delay things and “wait until Monday” to get started. Maybe it’s because we have so many commitments to other people for whom we are less likely to put off and procrastinate that we end up putting off and procrastinating our personal commitments that make us happy.

I’m just like you...when we are being honest. We prefer NOT to go to the gym, jog, walk, count calories, or deny ourselves those “bad foods.” We prefer not to do the healthy practices on the front side...when the activity is bearing down upon us. We prefer to eat, drink, and be merry because tomorrow “is Monday.” All that dreading about working out and counting calories is forgotten just as soon as you complete these tasks. Now, how do you feel? You feel proud of yourself! You feel successful! You feel accomplished! You feel closer to your goals.

“The hardest repetition at the gym is opening the front door.” - Nurse Kevin

And knowing that happiness is found IN THE EFFORT of losing weight, we still postpone that happiness to no end.

What Would You Do For A Million Dollars?

Money. We know that it will not make us completely happy but still we dream of what we’d do for a million bucks! What would be your limit as to a task or event that you would consider “not worth enduring” for a million bucks? I’ve thought about this...you’ve thought about this. What would you do for a million bucks? Deep down, what we are asking ourselves is, “What would I do to be happy?”

You know what you need to do; it’s so crystal clear in your mind...in your heart. “If I can lose this weight then (say it with me) I will be happy.” And then you say, “So, come Monday I am going to get started!” If you have already started, FANTASTIC!! However, consider “the quits” you’ve had in the past. This article will be just as relevant to you as it will be to someone trying hard to get started.

In a nutshell, “No.” To elaborate, “No, not really.” First of all, I don’t “diet.” I have gotten to know my body and how it responds to my eating patterns. There’s no surprise that I left for the vacation at 182 pounds and returned at 187 pounds. We were gone for five days and four nights (I love that movie). Did I really gain 5 pounds in five days? Na...no way! There’s really no way for the body to add 5 pounds of pure fat in 5 days. But, I did put on some weight during my vacation; that’s a given.

I went on vacation for 5 days. I ate burgers, French fries, and drank beer and did not gain weight. How?

1. Visit brewers and try out different beers (more on that at the end).

Welcome to Someday Isle: the life you have dreamed about; the life you’ve been waiting on! You will be surrounded by gorgeous, swaying coconut palm-fringed beaches, rippling sapphire waters, and landscapes reminiscent of oil paintings coated in every hue of blue and bursting with unparalleled beauty. This island paradise is known as “Someday Isle” and is a world of rest, relaxation, and where all of your needs will be met. It’s a barefoot luxury in a setting that’s just about as exclusive as it gets. And it’s picturesque white sandy shores are there waiting on you...someday.

“Someday I’ll...”

You’ve said it; you know you have, “Someday I’ll [BLANK].” But then tomorrow comes, next week comes, next year comes...20 years comes and goes and you find yourself always in “The Now” and looking for your ticket to “Someday Isle” where your life will be perfect. You look around at others in your life’s day-to-day and see those others who appear to have found their own personal “Someday Isle” as they “live the dream.” They seem to have every one of their life’s “needs met.” And you? You feel like you are the one who is still searching...for your own “Someday Isle.”

But, where’s yours? Where’s your “Someday Isle” life of unparalleled beauty? It’s there and you can find “Someday Isle” once you stop saying, “Someday I’ll...”

What’s So Wrong With Today?

Looks are not everything...not at all. Looks are superficial as are the people who are influenced by looks. To be looked at and judged takes two: the one who looks and the one who looks. One person “looks” a certain way and another person “sees” how that person looks. We who “see” have to take care that we are not manipulated by the one who “looks’ ” assumed attempts to influence us and create a semblance of what the one who sees should “look” like. Considering the one who “looks” beautiful is not attempting to do anything more than demonstrate society’s (the lookers) expectation of beauty. 

Are you confused? Sure you are, listen and I'll share my paradigm.

Not long ago I wrote an article, “What Other People Think About Me.” During my research and based on the past 51 years of “observing life,” I came to the conclusion that most folks DO think about us but only as a comparison to themselves rather than to just simply think about us. They are thinking about us and doing one of two things (if not both):

The funny thing is: most of what other people see in us is a defensive façade ...a version of our personality...as we socialize with our different peer groups. They are actually thinking about us to compare themselves with but the “us” we are portraying is not the real “us” that they may see in private. What? You don’t do this? Ever heard the phrase, “familiarity breeds content?” The more familiar we are with another human being the more we let our defensive façade “mask” down and show our true colors. That’s when the “friend” either runs away because they don’t like the person they now know or they stick around because the “real you” is better than the fake you. Still not you? Okay...not you...but folks I know.

The 90-10 Truth

Once upon a time, when my wife and I were new at our relationship...way back in our early 20’s some 27 years ago...she said to me, “I don’t think this is going to work out.” As you can imagine, that was kind of a shocker. I thought things were pretty okey-dokie and we were A-OK.

“Ain’t gonna work out? What does that mean? What’s the matter?” Like I said, this was news to me. And, I think I am pretty observant; I keep tabs on my surroundings (at least I think so).

“Yeah, it’s not you (it never is). I just thought that the ‘right one’ would come with the fairy tale...and a puppy.” She seemed like she liked me okay and up to that one moment; everything was (I thought) going well.

“Fairy tale?” Ready for more…

“Nurse Kevin! Are you Losing Weight?”

Walking to the conference room of our hospice agency’s building, a fitness buff in her own right, and one of the easiest nurses to ever work with (I could tell you stories about “other nurses”), was “following” me to the weekly meeting. “Nurse Kevin!” I heard her say behind me.

“That’s me! What’s up?!”

“Are you losing weight? You’re looking kinda loose in the caboose!”

The scale lies! Measurements LIE! Other people when asked about your weight when you are fishing for a compliment...LIE! When you ask for that validation, most people will stand back and look at you while they search their memory files looking for a memory of a fatter-you that is more fat than the fat-still self standing in front of them. The sweetness of that unsolicited compliment in the hallway that day was sweeter than all the cake, cookies, and sodas that I had denied myself over the preceding weeks.

Over the next few weeks the weight-loss continued with “power-ups” being received at each “Nurse Kevin! Are you losing weight?!” Those “power-ups” came in all kinds of forms, “Looking good, Nurse Kevin!” “Nurse Kevin, you're getting skinny!”

We Get Our Sparks From Other Sparklers.

“Sparklers” are other people (knowing or unknowingly) that help us as we work toward our goals. And, what we are looking for from our “sparklers” is our own sparkle that will drive us, motivate us, push us to get that one more repetition that would have given up on had you not had that motivating “sparkler.” The sparklers encourage us to drink more water, pass on the office goodies, and offer an ear when we are feeling less-than-sparkley. And the sparkler gives us “the look” when we hint about getting a 2nd beer. The sparkler helps us “get in the zone” when we are at the gym, on the trail, or just trying to get our steps in for the day.

My sparkle comes from my son…

We’re going to ask ourselves 5 questions to find out why we have hit the Weight-Loss Plateau

You are eating lean and clean. You are exercising every single day. You have told yourself “no” so many times, you have forgotten how sweet “yes” sounds. Yet, you haven’t lost a pound in a month and your motivation is weaning. “What am I doing all this for?” is the question that always comes before the dreaded “The Quit!”

You have hit a plateau and need (desperately need) to push past this brick wall and find a door though in order to feel like your efforts and sacrifices are paying off. Truth be known, you likely are at this weight-loss plateau not for any other reason than your brain’s self-imposed limitations. What you need is to break through this brain-pain and follow your happy-heart’s potential; it’s there.
